Chromatic button accordions have each octave in three rows of four instead of two rows of five and seven like a piano. It's very regular, but doesn't match up with major or minor scales or with sheet music. A major scale is a zig-zag.

I play both piano and button accordion and they're just different. Neither one has a compelling advantage.
